Melissa Nicole Walters - Interior Design Portfolio by Melissa Nicole Walters

M E L I S S A NI COLE WA LT E R S INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

ABOU T ME Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio! I am a current senior in the School of Interior Design at Anderson University in South Carolina. Growing up in Hartsville, South Carolina, I had very little exposure to the field of interior design. However, creative pursuits such as art and music drew my attention. Whether it was a floor plan for a dream home or new furnishings for a doll house, I was always creating something. By middle school, I had cultivated a love for art and design. In 2007, a calamity brought me closer to realizing what I would choose for my career. My family home was flooded from a burst pipe, and four stressful months of renovating followed. Through this experience, I began to understand the difference an interior designer could have on a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. This was a pivotal point in my decision to pursue interior design. Throughout my journey in the School of Interior Design, I have learned to push myself to approach new tasks with confidence. My design strengths have become evident throughout the various phases of design. Viewing every design as a problem to be solved, space planning has emerged as one of my greatest strengths. With attention to detail, my strengths are seen throughout the design development and construction document phase in all things technical. These skills have been strengthened through the wide range of projects in my commercial design and contract design courses. Upon graduation, I hope to establish myself in the field of interior design as a designer at a commercial firm.

D ESIGN PH IL O S O PHY As an aspiring designer, I believe that there is much more to interior design than just an aesthetically pleasing space. Interior design is not just a means of creating a colorful space with nice furnishings, but a method of creating life changing solutions. Every aspect of design from programming to contract administration is vital as each phase shapes the design. Interiors should be functional, safe, and uplifting because they greatly affect our lives. Each design should be tailored to meet the needs of the client and end user. No matter what typology, a design should be memorable, inventive, and flexible so that is can evolve as its purpose shifts. My goal as a designer is to create innovative design solutions in order to produce beautiful, unique spaces that will enhance the well-being of the end user.

DESIGN CONCEPT | BRIC is an adaptive design, mixed-use facility housing short term housing for individuals and families displaced by natural disasters along with an area for community involvement. Research involved the psychological effects of traumatic events as well as the obstacles that displaced victims often face. Findings show that community and a strong support system can greatly diminish the negative effects of such disasters on the mental and emotional state of the victim. The inclusive design allows for a safe haven for residents while creating an opportunity to engage the surrounding community. A variety of spaces are designed to encourage social interaction or provide a quiet spot for mental renewal. Located on the second and third floor of an existing building in Dallas, Texas, the design is organized by zones. Inspiration for the forms and graphics used throughout the project was drawn from the resilience and strength of bridges as well as the restorative characteristics of natural cells. A soothing color palette of variations of blue and green targets lowering anxiety, while many natural textures and colors create a warm environment encouraging healing.

LOCATION | The design is proposed to be located in Dallas, Texas. This location is ideal because it is not directly in an area at high risk for natural disasters, but is near areas often devastated by disasters. The city of Dallas offers several attractions, cultural and historical sites, and a variety of restaurants and shops. The building to be re-purposed is located at 4300 North Central Expressway, in North Dallas, Texas. Built in 1963, the building has undergone several renovations since it originally opened. Currently, the 25,000 square foot, 4 story building, is separated into multiple office suites.

RECEPTION

DESIGN CONCEPT | M. Walters Design Group has been commissioned to design the interiors of the Eulari City Club, a club for international business men and women. Located on the penthouse level of One Bligh in the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia, the 16,000 square foot club provides a place for influential business members to meet within a global city. Spaces to be designed include the reception area, presidential dining room, bar, lounge, private lounge, members’ suite, and members’ apartment. Inspired by the Aboriginal culture as well as the global nature of the city of Sydney, Eulari will be designed to blend luxury with natural influences, such as organic forms and an earthy color palette. Textured metals and woven materials are used throughout the club to connect the idea of honesty of materials and craft. Throughout the space, lighting is used to draw guests through the space and to accent focal points. The glass façade of the building provides a spectacular view of the city of Sydney as well as natural light into the club.

BRANDING | The form of the Eulari logo was inspired by the organic forms found in Aboriginal art and in nature. A subliminal letter “e” represents the city club’s name. The brand was incorporated into the place setting, dinnerware, and menu covers.

PLACE SETTING

MENU COVER

BRANDING | The name “Eulari” is a conglomeration of the word “Lari” meaning “root” in an Aboriginal language and “eu”, taken from the Latin root word meaning “good/well”. The name of the club is meant to make the connection of the roots of Australia and reference the Aboriginal culture that inspired the design of the city club.

(Reception) The reception area features a back-painted glass wall with the club’s branding. The reception desk features back lit, translucent quartz. A small gallery area in the space is dedicated to displaying Aboriginal art. (Presidential Dining) The Presidential Dining room offers a beautiful view of Sydney’s skyline. Custom pendant lighting creates a focal point over the custom, double pedestal table. (Lounge) The Lounge offers a variety of seating arrangements to accommodate members.

DESIGN CONCEPT | R.E.A.C.H. Learning Center has been designed to promote education and service-learning efforts in the Amazon Rainforest. Inspired by the natural beauty and depth of the Amazon rainforest, this facility provides an immersive educational experience for service-learning participants and Miami-Dade community members. The main goals of the multi-purpose facility is to provide a space for learning and collaboration while promoting conservation efforts focusing on sustainable farming and reforestation. Technology has been used as an integral part of the design to enhance the level of engagement of visitors through the use of virtual reality technology, interactive screens, and furniture that can accommodate technology. To meet the needs of the educational facility, two classrooms have been designed to encourage collaborative thinking and learning. A hands-on learning area provides a space for participants to practice reforestation techniques on a small scale. Sustainable finishes and materials have been utilized to promote environmentally conscious efforts both in the community and globally. Overall, the design will create a space in which users can gather, collaborate, and learn about reforestation, sustainable farming, and preservation while promoting service learning to be applied in the Amazon Basin.

ENTRY

DESIGN CONCEPT | Interior Initiative has recognized the growing trend of sustainability and the effect it will have on the future of the design community. This company is based out of New York, and plans to open a satellite showroom on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. The new showroom, Artdelamiere, will focus on energy and lighting as an avenue of sustainable design. The showroom will focus on six displays including: lighting applications, lamp types, light fixtures, controls, architectural walls, and a gallery. Clients and designers will be able to walk through the space to be inspired by the products and be informed by the processes displayed. The upstairs of the showroom will be divided into a residential and office space. The showroom is open to enhance accessibility and ease of circulation, with architectural walls to distinguish the display areas. PROCESS SKETCHES

DISPLAYS | 1) Lighting Applications/Lounge - showcases the effect lighting has on a space. The main focal point of this display is the cove ceiling with hidden LED lights. 2) Gallery - The second display will showcase art from local artists. Like space, art is effected greatly by lighting. 3) Tech Lighting Displays - Low-voltage pendants, ADA wall mount, and LED fixtures are a few of the types of lighting fixtures displayed. 4) Lamp Types - Differences in lamp types are demonstrated in this area. Information includes color temperature and CRI. 5) Controls - Lighting controls can reduce energy consumption, create an adaptable environment, and give a consumer control of the space they are in. Wireless controls are also showcased in this display for clients to test out the controls that effect the showroom. 6) Architectural Walls- natural light is an important consideration in every design. Architectural wall systems can provide a variety of solutions for a space. By incorporating such a system into a design, light can be borrowed from another space in order to bring light into even a very centralized design.

Substance abuse is commonly connected to mental illnesses such as depression, social anxiety, and PTSD. Research has shown that contrasting, brilliant colors such as blues and oranges, will instantly uplift a person’s mood. The color scheme will incorporate cooler colors and horizontal patterns in more intimate spaces to make visitors feel safe, secure, and relaxed, while warmer tones energize social zones.

SITE PLAN

DESIGN CONCEPT | The city of Greenville has commissioned a new sculpture to commemorate the connected history of the Reedy river and the city of Greenville. The sculpture is to be located near the Peace Center. The scope of the project includes a concept, detailed drawings illustrating the installation of the new sculpture, and a scaled model to demonstrate the dimensionality of the sculpture. The proposed sculpture embodies influences of the once thriving textile mills, surrounding nature, and the Reedy river itself. Steel rebar emerges from a concrete base becoming less structured as they progress vertically. This represents the transition of the river becoming the heart of Greenville as it brings people with different backgrounds and stories together to create a unique culture. The organic shape of the steel rebar is meant to imitate the movement of the river, roots or branches of a tree, and threads being woven together.

DESIGN CONCEPT

KITCHEN N.I.C.

M. Walters Design Group has been commissioned to design the interiors of the Eulari City Club, a club for international business men and women. Located on the penthouse level of One Bligh in the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia, the 16,000 square foot club provides a place for influential business members to meet within a global city. Spaces to be designed include the reception area, presidential dining room, bar, lounge, private lounge, members’ suite, and members’ apartment.

The name “Eulari” is a conglomeration of the word “Lari” meaning “root” in an Aboriginal language and “eu”, taken from the Latin root word meaning “good/well”. The name of the club is meant to draw attention to the roots of Australia and reference the Aboriginal culture that inspired the design of the city club. The Aboriginal culture, while only making up a small percentage of Australia’s population, has a strong presence in the art scene. There are several galleries in Sydney that display Aboriginal artwork, both older works and contemporary works.

MEMBERS’ SUITE

Inspired by the Aboriginal culture as well as the global nature of the city of Sydney, Eulari will be designed to blend luxury with natural influences, such as organic forms and an earthy color palette. Textured metals and woven materials are used throughout the club to connect the idea of honesty of materials and craft. Throughout the space, lighting is used to draw guests through the space and to accent focal points. The glass façade of the building provides a spectacular view of the city of Sydney as well as natural light into the club.
